METHOD OF CALCULATING A SURGICAL INTERVENTION PLAN

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of calculating a surgical intervention plan. Based on surface data of the patient, a surface representation of a part of the patient's body is created. From a database, a plurality of surgical methods may be selected and the geometrical parameters of a surgical plan can be adapted based on each individual surgical method. Therefore, the surgeon may easily select, which of the surgical method is appropriate for the planned surgical intervention. Furthermore, the surgical intervention plan which has been adapted according to the finally selected surgical method may then be projected onto the skin of the patient such that a drawing of the incision lines is facilitated. Furthermore, the use of a remotely activatable pen based on the current position of the pen and based on the finally selected surgical plan is presented.

1. Method of calculating a surgical intervention plan, the method comprising the steps of
receiving surface data of a patient's surface (S1), receiving intervention data about a planned surgical intervention (S2), the intervention data including data representing a targeted object, creating a surface representation of a part of the patient's body based on the received data of the patient's surface (S3), selecting a first surgical method out of a plurality of parameterized surgical methods stored in a database (S4), adapting geometrical parameters of a surgical intervention plan based on i) the selected first surgical method, ii) the intervention data and iii) the surface representation, thereby calculating an adapted surgical intervention plan (S5), and displaying the adapted surgical intervention plan to a user (S6).
